I never made it to prom
So if it's all right with you
Can we slow dance
You never went to the ball
You never slipped on those shoes
And just slow danced
Yeah
I never straightened a tie
I never put on a suit
And just slow danced
You never walked down the steps
In that champagne dress
And just slow danced
We were born on the outside
We couldn't wait to fit in
We spent our days wondering
What we should have been
But now here on the dance floor
Where our heart's always been
The wanting the waiting has come to an end
I never waited with flowers on the front steps
So let's slow dance
You never lied to your parents
You never snuck back in
From the slow dance
We were born on the outside
We couldn't wait to fit in
We spent our days wondering
What we should have been
But now here on the dance floor
Where our heart's always been
The wanting the waiting has come to an end
Oh
I never felt this before
I never want this to end
So let's slow dance
I never walk out the door
I never miss a chance
For a slow dance
Yeah
